“Everything is a graph”
This is sort of an odd thing to want. You need a diversity of data structures. And BTW the acronym not withstanding, lisp represents graphs not lists.

Linked lists, trees, and heaps are all just graphs with certain requirements about their structure.
Everything else can be represented as a graph, just not as elegantly.
Also as a data point, I really really wish there was an everything is a graph language. I work in graphs all day (in the private industry) and I have to keep modeling them as arrays. It's a pain.
Edit: I've posted this same comment in multiple places in this conversation to get feedback from specific commenters, not as spam (it's a old personal project)
You said: "lisp represents graphs not lists". I think you meant that Lisp's defining data structure, based on the cons, was for general graphs, not lists. But that is not really true. If what you meant was "Lisp isn't just restricted to linked lists", sure, but that's true of every programming language with object arrays. So what?
